At the start of the spring semester this week, school leaders paid visits to classes around campus, wishing students and teachers a successful New Year. RUC Chairwoman JIN Nuo, President LIU Wei, Executive Vice President WANG Liming, and Vice President HONG Dayong stopped by several graduate and undergraduate classes on Monday to gain a general impression of the state of teaching and to welcome students back to campus for a new semester. At RUC’s Mingde Building, JIN Nuo encouraged students to be diligent in working toward academic excellence and preparing to apply their learning. LIU Wei and Vice President HONG went to the Second Teaching Building, where they visited undergraduate classes, observing faculty as they taught. President LIU encouraged students to work hard and to value and make the most of their time at university.
